We would like to cooperate with scholars from the Ceasar Kleberg Wildlife Institute as well as local representatives from the Lipan Apache tribe to develop collaborative programs relative to the bison. Speakers and presenters will be covering a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, history, and art. We would like to incorporate both hands-on demonstrations, such as using an atlatl or other traditional weaponry used by early peoples as well as possibly utilizing a film-discussion on the American bison.
